Already you will be covered in skin and sinews and you will live. Nothing is too late.

Digital painting of two men embracing. The one in the back has silver-blond hair and gold nail polish, and his eyes are closed. The one in the front has dark wavy hair, bloodshot red sclera, and gold irises. He’s pressing his face into the shoulder/chest of the first man. Blood pours down his hands and chest and arm. In the background above their heads is a relief depicting a spear stabbing through three figures, as well as two figures curled up in fear.

Old father, old artificer, stand me now and ever in good stead

Digital painting. A person draped in fabric leans over and out from their gown & shawl bursts a herd of deer. Birds rush past. The background has the appearance of swirling oxidized metal.

Hades & Persephone (commission!)

Digital painting of a man and woman sitting on marble steps. The woman sits above the man and rests her hand in his hair; her other arm is outstretched and she crushes a pomegranate in her hand. The man wears a complex neckpiece and a red piece of fabric that only partially covers him.

New pinned post! I’m a freelance fantasy artist focusing on characters ✦

A decorative and detailed black and white portrait of a long-haired character with pointy ears. They are dressed in fancy clothing and wear jewelry. Their eyes seem to be slightly glowing as they gaze at the viewer.

A black and white drawing of a character with long dark hair and curly horns, surrounded by stylized foliage. A symbolic dagger seems to be piercing their throat. The character has a calm expression - eyes closed and a subtle smile on their lips.

Black and white drawings/sketches of various fantasy characters. Most of them have horns.

Black and white drawings/sketches of various fantasy characters, collected on one page. All of them have dark hair and pointy ears.

So excited to say I had the pleasure of illustrating the book cover artwork for ‘Legacy of Kain: The Book of Nosgoth’, an official encyclopaedia with @lostincult.co.uk @cookandbecker.bsky.social & Crystal Dynamics!

Illustration of Legacy of Kain encyclopaedia book cover. Blue Raziel is in the centre standing inside Kain’s palm, with his sword and broken wings encircling him. A large portrait of Kain stands looming behind him. Beneath Raziel swirls the Lake of the Dead, underneath the vortex are giant tentacles of the Elder God.

Some more thesis stuff, slowly figuring out/experimenting layouts for my pages (need to finish the art...). The poem are by Richard Brautigan, I'm using it as filler to figure out the layouts ( have to crop my illustrations for when I send my thesis book(s) to print, limited sizes unfortunately ).
